New Apartments Belconnen: The Lawson by Lake

The country club has always sold a simple idea: membership buys access to facilities no household would build alone. The Lawson, a 244-apartment development beside Lake Ginninderra in Belconnen, applies that logic to apartment living — and in doing so introduces a format new to the ACT.

Amenity as the centre of the offer

At the heart of the project is Club Lawson, a residents-only floor that functions as the building's clubhouse. It brings together a pool, sauna, steam room and infrared sauna, a gym, a yoga studio and meditation rooms, plus a residents lounge, co-working space, private dining room, whisky bar and BBQ terrace. Ownership of an apartment is, in effect, membership of the club.

Architecture and delivery

The Lawson was designed by Fender Katsalidis — the practice behind Australia 108 in Melbourne and the National Portrait Gallery extension in Canberra — with interiors by Bond Theory and construction by Kuatro. The project is structured across four stages, named Haven, Solace, Serenity and Drift, for 244 residences in total.

Two-bedroom apartments start from under $500,000 and three-bedroom homes from the $650,000s. Sales are handled by Apartment Collective; project detail is at the-lawson.com.
